How to Live. How to Die.
Sundays at 9:15 AM
in All Saints Room
in the Parish Hall
In 1651, a very popular Anglican (Episcopal) theologian and priest named Jeremy Taylor wrote two books telling his people how to live well in an upturned world. Five hundred years later, in a newly upturned world, we’re still trying to figure out the same questions.
Jeremy Taylor figured out that the way to live well is to figure out how to die well.

In this class we’ll explore vocation, prayer, and the art of bumbling through. Together we’ll explore what a holy death look likes and what it means for us to live in light of it. The class includes lessons from Caitlyn and a series of guest speakers, holy and practical, which will give you peace and help you live a life of purpose and fullfillment.
This class is drop-in style — if you have to miss a few it’s ok. This class is for everyone, whether you are young and do not expect to die soon, are looking to live a more purposeful life, or you’re actively making end of life plans.
